Irish Women in Lancashire 1922-1960

Their Story

I am the cover picture T he experience of Irish immigrants in Britain has been explored through various publications in recent years. However, these studies have focussed primarily on the public arena, where men were dominant, and there is little to tell us of the experience of irish women in Britain. Irish Women in Lancashire explores the subject through the words of 40 'ordinary' Irish women who moved to Britain between 1922 and 1960.

Sharon Lambert graduated from Lancaster University with a BA and PhD in history. This book is based on her doctoral thesis. .
